Mitt Romney and Kid Rock. Throw them together with Fred Phelps and the ghost of Lee Atwater, and you'd have the most phenomenally deranged golf foursome in the history of the universe. ** A must read, by William Rivers Pitt, so funny.

William Rivers Pitt hits a home run with his funny analyzing of the current republican candidates. Mitt finds a song, Newt jumping with glee over current poll number and Bachmann may pull out Iowa. If you feel like a good laugh, please read this, it's a real circus out there. We only have about 40,000 more debates to go.

Terribly funny and terrible possibility all in one. Terry is right, Venom is the word... after all the 'venomous' attacks on each other have played-out and there is finally ONE terrible, candidate to run as a RepubliTea, our only choice is gonna be Obama. We can all keep our fingers crossed that there will be a reasonable third candidate in the race.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think that seeing Newt participate in a debate moderated by the Donald would be great fun! Two strong personalities with monumental egos are bound to end up trying to "outdo" (and I wasn't referring to the Donald's hair) one another.

Great article, Kit! Very funny and informative. Thanks for posting it!

Hysterical. He captured each of the 'loonies' so well. I would only add that for those who think that this would be a good time to pursue an alternative to Obama, they should consider that thought premature. We need to take the House and strengthen the Senate with those that understand and respect our prerogatives. Are we ready, and is this a propitious time for a third party candidate? We could be shooting ourselves in the foot. Obama looks to be a slam dunk.

Puleeeaaase, GOP, nominate Newt the Coot so we may give him the boot.

But let us not underestimate the craven, cynical dishonesty of the right-wing wheelers and dealers. This election will be awash in so much cash that few will be able to tread liquidity (money as SCOTUS authorized speech) long enough to retain any semblance of sanity. Darl Rove has already put out two attack ads against Elizabeth Warren that contradict each other: he says she's an Occupier who is too cozy with Wall Street.

These folks are so craven they will claim anything, and we will see their utter dishonesty time after time after time because they will have the money to lie, lie, lie all over our airwaves, our cars and our living rooms.

I didn't get to see this till today (mon) - A great way to start the week! Thanks Kit - so funny! I'ts frightening, but true - a reality show that is fodder for the humorist, the only problem is it's true - which makes it fodder for Wes Craven as well!

Pitt nailed it. They are all tripping over each other to be more extreme. The scary part is that one of these buffoons could be elected by the demented voters who watch FAUX noise.

I take consolation that the most recent Marist poll in NC had Pres. Obama beating every RepublicanT possible candidate if the elections were held now. NC has not voted for a Democratic candidate for Pres since Jimmy Cater in 1976 and before that it was JFK in 1960.

Great comments, and certainly after watching the debates and the many "interviews" if they can be called that, we can only laugh. I was worried the GOP might wake up a smell some reality, nah...they will go with one of the goof balls we've seen to date. I've seen some interviews with Gary Johnson and Buddy Roemer both are interesting men with ideas that are reasonable and moderate. Of course these guys are not allowed near the republican debates. If it is Newt the Coot that gets the boot (thanks for that one, Norm) then we will owe the GOP a hearty thanks.

"...Speaking of Rock & Roll Mitt, Derpy Rick, Hopeless Herman and Manic Michele, let us all bow our heads in a moment of thanks to the Republican brain trust, who surveyed the field of dimwits, lunatics, ego-trippers and plain fools vying to carry the banner for their party, and said, "You know what'd be great? Let's have these people participate in 43,212 nationally-televised debates! What could possibly go wrong?"...
Great article! But I hated the Curse at the end: "May you live in interesting times."!!!!!!:(

I think this adequately describes the Repub primary candidates...
"......they will have finally and forever earned the mantle, in the immortal words of Douglas Adams, of being "a bunch of raving nutters."

I've seen some of the "debates"...it's like watching a train wreck, it's horrifying, but you just can't tear your eyes away!
